You can get the Cadwelds from any good industrial electrical supply 
house.  I used the "OneShot" Cadwelds which come with the disposable 
ceramic mold and welding and starting material.  For connecting #3 or #4 
wire onto a 5/8 ground rod with one wire in and one wire out, I paid 
about $5.50 and for two wires in each direction, I paid about $11.00 
each.  If one considers that cost versus a $3 direct burial type of 
ground clamp and the fact that once it's done, you never have to worry 
about tightening it, etc.  I thought it was worth it.  They're real easy 
to install and use and yes there's a bright flash as the weld material 
ignites.  I installed about 20 of them in an afternoon.  Highly 
recommended.  Phil  KB9CRY
